The Mouse Monoclonal anti-COL3A1 antibody is suitable to detect COL3A1 in samples from Human. It has been validated for IF, IHC (p), EIA, IHC (fro) and RIA.
Human Collagen type III 100 % (solid phase RIA at 1/500 dilution). Type III Collagen, MW 95 kDa, can be observed in skin, cartilage, human placenta and vitreous body. Cross Reactions: Human Collagen I, II, IV and V: < 0,1 % Human Fibronectin and Laminin: < 0,1 %. Does not react with Mouse, Rat, Bovine and Pig.
ELISA. RIA (> 1/1000). Immunflourescence assay: 1/80Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Sections: 1/1000 (60 min at RT or 2-8 °C over night). Immunohistochemistry on Frozen Sections. Pretreatment for IHC: After de-waxing the tissue slices they are treated with 0.2 % hyaluronidase (app.300 U/mg) in TBS 15 min at 37 °C. There after non-specific binding isblocked by blocking serum or 3 % BSA in TBS. For peroxidase systems blocking with 1 %peroxide solution in TBS for 30 min at RT is recommended. Positive Control: Human skin and placenta.

Background
Collagens consist in a family of highly specialized glycoproteins of which at least 16 genetically distinct types are known to date. The basal unit of a collagen molecule cosists in a tripel-helical structure formed by 3 alpha-chains. Predominant amino acids are glycine, proline and hydroxproline. Regularly also lysines and hydroxylysines occur, which are responsible for cross-linkage and glycosylation of the protein chains. Different composition of alpha-chains and different glycosylation contribute to the high variability of collagens in different tissues and organs. Type III collagen is an alpha1(III)-trimer, MW 95 kDa, which forms 67 nm cross-banded fibrils. Typically it can be observed in skin, cartilage, vitreous body, and human placenta.Synonyms: COL3A1
